Short-Trial Rules Amended to Provide for Alternative Trials

On August 7, 2014, the Nevada Supreme Court issued ADKT 0447, which amended the short-trial rules to provide for alternative trials. The Alternate Trial Rules will become effective 30 days from the date of the order.

In June 2010, the court began an alternate bench and jury trials pilot program that was deemed successful and well-received and was accordingly officially adopted into the court rules.
